田園生活美學 我們的復古現代家居之旅

歡迎回到Vintage Splendor 今天我們要來探討我的家 如果這是你第一次來我們家 它是一座1959年中世紀的現代建築 我們從原住民買來的 大概11年前 當我們買來的時候 它是原住民建築 它在60年代的時期 它是一個派對的家 這個家的建築師是一位畢業生 他想要建造一個漂亮的家 讓他可以舉辦派對 它是一個非常漂亮的建築 所有的原裝裝飾都很棒 但很遺憾的是 我們買來的時候 這15年來 有太多的廢棄維修 所以我們有很多工作要做 所以在過去一年 我丈夫Alan和我 花了很多時間 也花了很多創意精力 為我們家的原裝裝飾 帶回來 我今天非常興奮 和你們分享 我會形容我的家裝飾 就像我形容我的時裝 它是復古的最佳 我們家裡發生了一點 我和我丈夫 我會說他絕對是 最小的一部分 但是他喜歡顏色 他喜歡質感 這就是為什麼 我們家裡的每個空間 都有自己的個性 我把很多不同的顏色 印刷 圖案 和很多不同的 風格和風格 你會注意到 我們的家並不是 復古傳統 中世紀的 或是 甚至是 俄羅斯風格 它真的沒有 一個風格 這絕對是 我的風格和 我丈夫的風格 有一點 對我和Alan來說 是非常重要的 就是設計一個 漂亮 但又有效 又實用的家 我意思是 我們有兩個孩子 我覺得 我認為 孩子需要 融入 這個房子的設計 但是 你會看到 我們有很多玻璃 我們有很多 尖銳的邊緣 我們希望 孩子長大 在一個 非常漂亮的房子 但是 讓他們的個性 閃耀 所以即使 我有很多 貴價的 一種一種的 作品 我認為 我們的方法是 我們不住在博物館 可以去 找一些 藝術作品 或者一些 藝術作品 然後 我們喜歡 舉辦派對 所以當我們發現 這個房子 是由一位博士 設計的 他很喜歡派對 我們覺得 這是我們 最適合的房子 它有一個 非常開放的 樓層計劃 所以從 客廳 我可以看到 餐廳 廚房 沙發 還有 戶外空間 它就像 一個大流通 正在發生 我們很喜歡 娛樂 無論是 兒童派對 還是成人派對 所以 我會說 90% 的 廚房 和角落房 是復古 或者 二手 就像我 衣櫃 我真的 想要 獨特的 空間 這真的 代表 我們的 風格 和我們喜歡 的生活 所以 今天 幾乎 所有東西 都來自 購物市場 物業銷售 臉書市場 我 想要 我們的房子 感覺 像 一個 集中的 家 所以 不是 需要 專注 設計 和 獨特的風格 是 當 某人 進入 我們的 房子 我想他們 知道 OK 安娜 真的 想 她 想 在 一個 家 她 去 採摘 一些 美 獨特的 餐廳 椅子 我開始 設計 他們 這些 像 很棒的 80年代 椅子 最後的椅子 是60年代 我的推薦 要 真的 採摘 和 獨特的 家 設計 裝飾 你叫什麼 or you want to call it is to have fun with different decades As I mentioned, our house was built in 1959 And although we could have gone into this like very scanty modern aesthetic that's not very much our vibe And I think to make a house feel like a home it needs to represent you So you'll see pieces in our house that are from the early 1900s all the way through the 1980s And I like to mix them all together And that's what gives it that like spice And gives it a little bit of life that I like to say I'm going to say a couple of the iconic pieces in our dining room besides Alan's telescope which he likes to talk about anytime we have guests is the chandelier It's one of the newer pieces in our house It is Jonathan Adler And we wanted a piece that was a functional light source but also was a sculptural piece I wanted something that was like very massive that was visually really interesting But of course like provides light at night And this was a piece that I loved And I really wanted it And I waited two years to get it And I think it's so worth it While I do a lot of shopping in Los Angeles One of the places I turn to for some of the bigger rarer pieces like the dining room chairs Our Burlwood credenza is Florida So you're like Florida Well, I have a couple of vendors that I love to shop from I found them through Etsy And even with the cross-country shipping which sometimes can be $400 It is still less than half the price of buying some of these pieces in Los Angeles So I really trust one of these vendors Angel I've bought a lot of pieces from her And I know that I'm getting a great deal So I would recommend If you are living somewhere Where things tend to be a little bit more expensive Get creative and start shopping Outside of your area And like take into consideration The shipping or the delivery fee But I guarantee if you are shopping In a lot of different parts of the country It's going to save you a lot of money One of my favorite things to collect is artwork So in a previous life I was a gallery director And I just think art is such a great way To add color and personality to your home And again my art comes from all over We collected pieces from travels Either art shows Or I love to find them at the flea market I actually have a couple of vendors I visit Because they represent different artists So you'll see a couple of pieces That I found at the flea market Because the estate was looking to sell off the art And I got a really great deal So I might need to do a YouTube video on this Anytime I'm buying art I always look to make sure that it is signed And then I can reference it Anytime artwork is signed It adds value to the piece I did mention that I also shop with vendors That will represent artists And that's how I know That the estate of the artist Will lend value to the pieces But if you are a parent I'm sure you come home with a ton of art And kind of my belief is To display some of that artwork So we have one of Harley's first pieces That she ever painted on our wall People always ask us about it And it's Harley's We also have a bulletin board That is in the space between the kitchen And the dining room And that's where a lot of the artwork That comes home from school Is displayed It's kind of like our family center And again I can't reiterate this enough Like you don't have to give up your personal style When you become a parent I know so many people who say I stopped having a coffee table Because I have kids I am a firm believer That your kids can adapt to any environment But we still love to celebrate our children And the things that they bring home from school So we have designated areas Where we probably display their artwork And they kind of love seeing Their art hanging with other notable artists One of my favorite projects We worked on in our house Is to update our kitchen We wanted to retain The original mid-century modern charm But make it more functional and practical For everyday living for a family And one of the things that we did Was actually remove the wall That was blocking the stove area This way I can actually look out Into the dining room And into our patio and our deck area When I said this house was designed for entertaining I really wanted to be able to like Hang out with people in the kitchen In the dining room And still keep an eye on the kids When they're playing Outside on the deck and on the patio One of my favorite features of our house Is the original front door Which is a multicolored glass And it's encased in this aluminum steel I have never seen an architectural detail Like this in homes And I love to research Mid-century modern homes That were built in this area I love being able to just slide this door open When I greet guests into our house So I know gallery walls Get a very bad rep In a lot of art and design circles But I am a firm believer That it is an important part of a house And it's a way to display Either family pictures or your interests And ours exists right where Our office and library area is And what we've done is It's a mix of our travel photos As a family And as a couple When Alan and I used to travel together Plus we collect a lot of cool vintage maps From all the destinations My husband is very into urban design And vintage maps And so he loves to collect them Everywhere we travel And that is what's displayed on our wall And we also mix in a little bit of artwork From the different places we've traveled Since the last time I did a tour We repainted our bedroom And I absolutely love the color A lot of people ask me Did you have to convince your husband No, he actually chose this color Which is called pinky beige We wanted something that was a little bit brighter As much as I love the moody green It was really speaking to my soul I just wanted something That was a little bit of a refresh And I kept everything else in our room Pretty much the same And as I mentioned I like to mix pieces from different decades To get a really really fun mix And just feel in a space So our room has like a modern bed And the antique bench is from the late 1800s I sourced it from my friend Who has a great vintage shop in Hudson Valley And some of the other details are from like the 1920s My vanities in 1960s Like secretary desk Just super cool So I just want to reiterate Like just have fun with a lot of the pieces That you are sourcing in your home Because that's what's going to Reflect your personal style And it's going to make you Really happy to come to a space And that's always been my approach Is to keep changing up pieces Whether it's moving around artwork These pieces that are over the bed Or previously downstairs So it's not even about buying new It's about just like moving things around So that they feel fresh And if you love it You'll just get excited Looking at it in a whole new space So our upstairs project Was something we finished Right before everything shut down In March 2020 We actually like finished In a week later Everything was shut down So what we did is We converted the upstairs Which was 600 square feet Of just open space Into an office nook Our primary bedroom A walk-in closet As well as the bathroom And as much fun as I had Decorating the bedroom I absolutely love our bathroom I wanted a soaking tub Like one of my favorite things to do Is to just hang out in the bathtub And it's actually something My husband and I love to do We just kind of unwind He hangs out in the bathroom We chit chat We have wine I'm taking a bath He's just hanging out But it was really about Designing a space That we would utilize In our own very personal way And something that really Made me excited about The bathroom design process Was playing with tile Because again Tiles give you so many opportunities To have fun with color With texture As well as with prints So we did this really great Brick on the wall A pattern tile on the floor And then I have a marble top vanity So it's all just like infusing The elements that I love The colors are very soothing But they're still very very modern And very lux Something that we've done As part of the design of the house Is to get our kids involved In the design So each of their rooms Has their own personality Harley's room Her big girl room We like to call it She actually inspired the design of it We were at the flea market together She is a big time thrifter like me And she found these really beautiful Vintage silk lanterns And said I want to have these Hanging in my room And then from there She definitely wanted a pink room She was four years old at the time So pink was a very big color And then of course Unicorns are an important part of it But it was really about Creating a space that was very much Herb but elevated I'm going to say here I did not want to buy bedsheets That were covered with Elsa Or Belle or Cinderella So we kind of talked through it But she really had a creative vision With Violet's nursery I found these beautiful silk Hand printed screens At an antique center And it immediately matched This beautiful rug If you've been following me For a long time I bought this beautiful rug For our primary bedroom And this is the one time I did not measure And it was way too small for the space So it became kind of the Central focus of the nursery When I was designing it for Violet And then when I saw This set of three Beautiful silk prints I had to buy them And then I just pulled in All of the other layers There's a lot of flowers There's a lot of Pretty abstract prints Happening throughout her room And of course everything else That I sourced for the nursery Was vintage from the flea market Same with Harley One of my favorite spaces In our house Is definitely the backyard The deck and the patio We don't have a traditional yard But our outdoor area Is really huge It's probably as large of a footprint As our house And we spend a lot of time here I love sitting here And on a nice day like today I will work on my computer The kids will play outside I can enjoy my flowers And the garden The dog can do his thing When we bought this house The deck was being held up By overgrown ivy If you can imagine it And we disassembled it And my husband actually Rebuilt this With his two bare hands And very very proud of it One of the hobbies I picked up During the pandemic Is gardening And any usable garden space That we have I have transformed into Either a sustainable native garden With a lot of beautiful Southern California plants And florals I have a poppy garden Plus I have areas that I have vegetable and fruit gardens Where we grow our own Tomatoes, strawberries, herbs And lettuce Kind of a crunchy hippie that way Proud to say it But it's been a really great way To entertain the kids And it's something that we'd love to do Together as a family And like growing your own food Is actually pretty cool So yes, you will find me Gardening out here At least twice a week It's like a way for me to feel zen And just like connect with the earth I don't know, maybe that's because I'm a Capricorn And I need to connect with the earth I'm an earth sign I don't know, those of you Who are into horoscopes Let me know if that's true But I absolutely love that I was able to find this really great hobby Because it really really helps me Just again like clear my mind And in addition to thrifting Gardening is my therapy I hope you enjoyed today's home tour If you happen to be an editor At Architectural Digest Call me Happy to do another home tour But I just wanted to give you Kind of like a quick overview of our house If there's certain areas of our home That you want me to do a deep dive Please let me know in the comments below I'm also going to link to a post on my website That shows you before and after photos Of our entire home renovation So you could really really do a deep dive Into what it looked like When we bought the house And over the years What projects we've taken on to revive it A lot of it has been a DIY And you'll see that there's been A lot of different iterations of our house But I love it and thanks for stopping by I'll see you next Friday at 8 a.m. Bye by bwd6
